The domain name is the most confusing part! "This is thunderbolt.io. No, not the I/O device, the AI client"...

You're saying the opposite of what the person you think you're agreeing with is.

There are lots of alternatives. What makes them all unacceptable?

> Is there a reason to use Gonic instead of Navidrome?

Not really. Both are great! I moved to Gonic because it exposed full file paths which Navidrome didn't at the time, but it has since implemented that as well.

Gonic doesn't come with a front end so it's a bit lighter if that's something you care about.

River was really great even before this split, so I'm very excited to see what happens in the space in the future. I switched to Niri while waiting for it to happen, and I'll probably switch back at some point.

If you were an Xmonad user I feel pretty confident in saying River is the Wayland WM for you.

If ads are not effective, why do you think companies keep buying them? Surely they would have realized by now.

When I very briefly worked at a bike shop even some of the pros said they basically learned everything from Park Tool's Youtube videos!

Probably just a typo. He was 63.

You could fit the most basic version of a spaced repetition program on the back of a napkin. Why would you want to vibe code yet another program lacking a bunch of useful features though?

AnkiHub people seem kind of slimy in my experience (at least their leader, "The AnKing"). I hope they figure out a good leadership situation, and make stronger commitments to openness.

Anki is in a very solid position to be forked if anything happens, so even if this is bad news I have faith in the larger community.

Not strictly calisthenic, but you can do a lot with bands as well.

Just FYI that should be "Miyazaki and Kon", Satoshi is his first name.

Earthsea was directed by another Miyazaki, namely Hayao's son Goro.

If you actually check out the original 4chan post you can clearly see that it's about the first season. I'm not sure where you got the idea that it should be about the Endless 8, since you even admit yourself that it would make no sense.

This is just not true. I have 7 lights in the room I'm in right now, and I want them to all turn on and off together. This was a huge pain before I had smart lights.

You can group lights like this in Home Assistant.

You can always edit the info on MusicBrainz if it's wrong, so that everyone else also can benefit from your fixes.
